Silence the vocal
One control mutes the vocal stem; the band keeps playing and the lyrics stay on screen.
Karaoke, with your own voice
A karaoke track is a song with the singer taken out. Jambox takes the vocal out of the recording you already own, keeps the words in time under the chords, and records you onto the empty lane — then lets you place that voice anywhere between the speakers.

Sing to the words
The line being sung is banded and each word lights as it arrives, with the chords above it for the harmony.
Record, then place it
Arm a lane and record your lead; drag it left or right to sit behind a backing vocal, or keep it centred to lead.
What you get
- The song with its vocal muted, lyrics in time
- Your own lead on its own lane
- A stereo position between the speakers, per take
Where it stops
This is a backing track, not a scoring system: nothing marks your pitch, and the words come from a transcription that may need fixing by hand. The vocal is muted, not erased — the original is still there if you want it back.
Questions
Can I hear the original vocal quietly?
Yes — mute is a fader, not a delete. Pull it down instead of off and sing along with it.
What does panning do for a backing vocal?
It moves your take between the speakers. A lead sits centre; a second voice moved to one side sits behind it without getting louder.
Does it score my singing?
No. Jambox is a practice studio, not a karaoke machine with a score: it gives you the band, the words and a lane.

Record your own part
Arm a track and press ●: the take records onto its own lane as a red capsule. The waveform grows with the playhead, and the take is ready to overdub the moment you stop.
360° position and reverb
Drag a take’s dot around the 360° pad to place it anywhere in the room, then open reverb to give it a space. The dry signal is never touched.
Remove the guitar from a song
Remove the original guitar, record your own over the rest of the band, and export a new WAV with your take already in it.
